Presented by Caron Primas Brennan and co-hosted by the North Suburban Genealogical Society
Everyone has heard of Ancestry, but there are several other major databases for genealogy research. They all share search capabilities and feature their own unique merits. Learn the good, the bad and the ugly about the Big Four databases: Ancestry, FamilySearch, FindMyPast and MyHeritage. Learning about these databases will help you target your research. All of them have Library editions in addition to their subscriptions.
Access Wilmette Public Library's subscriptions to Ancestry, FindMyPast and more on our Genealogy page.
This is a joint program with the North Suburban Genealogical Society. Please join us virtually at 1pm for a short meeting prior to the presentation. All are welcome.
This program will not be recorded.
